Hydrology

The major aquifers in the study area are mainly formed by alluvium and Tertiary formations. The common ground water abstraction structures are dug wells, dug- cum-bore wells and tube wells. The yields mainly depend on the recharge conditions. The depths of the wells in alluvium generally range from 3.0 to 20.0 and some even 25.0 m. Some of the dug wells have in-well bores down to >30 m. Depths to water levels in the area range from 0.5 to 15 m bgl about 90% wells shows water levels less than 10m bgl.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

Dyestuff sector is one of the important segments of the chemical industries in India, having forward and backward linkages with a variety of sectors like textiles, leather, paper, plastics, printing inks and foodstuffs. A dye intermediate is the main raw material used for manufacturing of dyestuff. The textile industry accounts for the largest consumption of dyestuffs (about 80% of the total dye production) which generates requirement of dye intermediates. Asian markets are growing at a very rapid pace and India has emerged as a global supplier of dye intermediates.

Orgo Chem (Guj) Pvt. Ltd. came into existence in the year 1967. The firm has won accolades all over the domain by offering different dye intermediate products involving various processes like Sulphonation, Condensation, Acetylation, Amination, Nitration, Oxidation, Sulphonamides and Cyclizations to the clients. Company exports 85% of its products to Europe, USA, Japan, Korea, China, Thailand, Brazil and Czech Republic. It has manufacturing facility located at Plot No. 256, G.I.D.C., Sachin-394 230, Tal: Chorasi, Dist: Surat near India’s business capital – Mumbai and a dedicated office in Mumbai for marketing & logistics.

Orgo Chem (Guj) Pvt. Ltd. is now proposing to set up a new manufacturing unit of dye intermediate and specialty chemical products @ 170.5 MT/Month at Plot No. 719, Road No. 7, Sachin GIDC, Surat, Gujarat. Unit has purchased entire plot with existing infrastructure having constructed building and other utilities. However, existing structure will be modified suitably as per requirement. Construction and demolished waste as generated shall be disposed of as per C&D waste and disposal rules. Geographical location of the proposed project site is at Latitude: 21°5'41.00"N, Longitude: 72°51'27.00"E

1.2 PURPOSE OF EIA

'Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)' is the process of evaluating likely environmental impacts, both positive and negative, of a new or expansion project by taking into account natural, social and economic aspects. It also comprises of suggesting mitigation measures, for the possible negative impacts, before implementation of the project.

The purpose of the EIA study is identifying existing environmental condition in the study area, predicting and assessing environmental impacts due to the proposed project and suggesting measures to mitigate the adverse impacts and to delineate a comprehensive environment management plan along with recommendations and suggestions. The different activities that are likely to take place in the proposed project have been identified and mitigation measures have been proposed.

This report is prepared based on Generic Structure of EIA Document’ given in Appendix III and IIIA to EIA Notification dated 14th September 2006.

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF EIA

The overall objective of any EIA study is to identify and assess the adverse impacts of a project in the planning stage itself, so that necessary mitigation measures to prevent or minimize these adverse impacts can be planned early and cost-effectively. In view of this, the specific objectives of this EIA are -

 To have an in-depth know-how of the proposed project and to identify the probable sources of pollution that may arise from each stage of the process.

2.8.1 Process Description of Effluent Treatment Plant

Effluent generated during manufacturing process and other utility operations shall be sent to inhouse MEE plant followed by biological plant and RO plant. Permeate water from RO plant shall be recycle and reused back within plant premises and RO reject water shall be again sent back to MEE plant.

2.8.1.1 In-house MEE treatment facility

For Captive MEE facility, effluent first will be collected in collection tank. Such two collection tanks are provided. In each collection tank before sending effluent for further treatment, Lime solution / caustic lye is added for neutralization. Once one batch of collection tank is neutralized effluent is fed to inlet of settling tank. Here precipitated mass is allowed to settle under gravity. Clear supernatant is collected in MEE feed tank. Sludge from settling tank is dewatered through filter press.

Captive MEE:

Effluent from MEE feed tank is transferred to 2 stage multiple effect evaporation system. Here effluent is evaporated in 2 stages of forced circulation multiple effect evaporator by concentrating it from 1% solid content to 30% solid content. Concentrated mass is further subjected to evaporation in ATFD / Pusher centrifuge system where salt is recovered at the bottom. Evaporated mass obtained as condensate from MEE system is collected in condensate storage tank. It is expected that evaporated mass will have very less concentration of low volatiles though condensate can have COD/BOD in range of 1500 / 500 mg/lit which needs further polishing treatment for reuse in process.

Condensate such obtained is subjected to biological treatment using Activated Sludge Process in aeration tank. Aeration Tank mixed liquor is fed to secondary settling tank for separation of biomass. Clean liquor is then collected in treated waste water storage tank. Biomass is recycled back to aeration tank. At regular interval biomass is wasted as side stream and subjected to dewatering along with primary sludge.

Treated wastewater after aeration tank is subjected to treatment through RO plant for providing polishing treatment. Since TDS level of condensate is expected to be in range of 1000 mg/l, RO recovery of more than 90% is achieved in RO plant. RO reject is fed back to MEE feed tank for treatment. RO Permeate is recycled back to plant for reuse mainly as utility water in cooling tower and boiler application.

3.3.5 Interpretation

Surface Water: Surface water samples SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4 and SW5 are lake water. TDS level in SW5 is comparatively higher than other lake water samples and also presence of coliform at all sampling locations. Presence of marginally higher TDS in SW5 and fecal coliform in all samples may be due to use of this source by cattle, local residents and mixing of domestic sewage. This water sources needs water treatment plant consisting of clarification, sand filter, carbon filter and disinfection treatment before they are used for domestic purpose. For drinking water purpose these sources need further treatment using UF/RO plant.

Surface water sample SW6 is river water. This sample point is upstream of industrial area. Un expectedly TDS level is found on higher side in this stream may be local residents, villages and commercial area.

Ground water: Ground water samples analysis results indicate that TDS, hardness and coliform levels are higher (> 1000 mg/l) at sampling point GW1, GW2, GW5 and GW 7. Other sample points GW3, GW4, GW6 has relatively lower TDS level (<1000 mg/l). Ground water is fit for use as industrial water and for non-direct contact domestic purpose after basic filtration and disinfection treatment. After desalination treatment ground water can be used for low TDS water application.

3.4 METEROLOGY

3.4.1 Introduction

Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere and is important tool in studying environmental phenomena like pollutant dispersion. When the EIA study is planned for any project meteorological data are very important and shall be collected through the entire period of the baseline study. Typically for EIA, micro meteorological data is required to collect as these data are essential to formulate the pollutant dispersion models. Besides, it also helps in understanding the current trend in climatologically variable as well as prevailing ambient air quality issues and forecasting.

3.7 LAND ENVIRONMENT

3.7.1 Soil Quality

Soil quality is the capacity of a specific kind of soil to function, within natural or managed ecosystem boundaries, to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain or enhance water and air quality and support human health and habitation. Soil quality reflects how well a soil performs the functions of maintaining biodiversity and productivity, partitioning water and solute flow, filtering and buffering, nutrient cycling and providing support for plants and other structures. Thus, soil quality plays vital role in any particular geographical phenomenon of ecology as well as physico-chemical environment. Soil quality can indicate the current as well as future issues related with the water, ecology and life in the particular region. Thus, it is clearly visible that soil contamination may result in eventuality in form of contamination of water, ecological destruction, and loss of productivity, food crisis and so threat to life. Thus, to determine the exact impacts of any proposed project, it is very essential to determine the existing status of soil quality and existing stress through a study of soil quality assessment.

Soil samples were collected from seven locations of study area once in study period. The collected soil samples were analyzed by environmental laboratory of ENPRO Enviro Tech and Engineers Pvt. Ltd. Analysis was done for physical properties and chemical characteristics. The evaluation of initial soil quality based on the above characteristic is done and presented as below. The details about the sampling points are given in TABLE 3.11 & FIGURE 3.9.

3.7.5.1 Spatial Data from SOI Topographical Sheets

Creating a GIS spatial database is a complex operation, and is the main operation of the entire work; it involves data capture, verification and structuring processes. Raw geographical data are available in many different analogue and digital form such as toposheets, aerial photographs, satellite imageries and tables. Out of all these sources, the source of toposheets is of much concern to natural resource scientist and an environmentalist.

In the present study, the essential maps generated from SOI topographical maps. Using the topographical maps, the drainage map and contour Map were also developed. The maps are prepared to a certain scale and with attributes complying with the requirement of terms of reference (ToR). The location of entities on the earth’s surface is then specified by means of an agreed co-ordinate system. For most GIS, the common frame of co-ordinate system used for the study is UTM co-ordinates system. All the maps are first Geo-referenced. The same procedure is also applied on remote sensing data before it is used to prepare the Essential maps.

3.8 ECOLOGY & BIODIVERSITY

3.8.1 Biological Environment

The basic purpose to exploring the biological environment under Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to assist in the decision-making process and to ensure that the project options under consideration are bio-environmental-friendly. EIA identifies ways of improving project environmentally by preventing, minimizing, mitigating or compensating for adverse impacts before construction and after construction phase.

3.46 ENPRO Enviro Tech and Engineers Pvt. Ltd. Client Orgo Chem (Guj.) Pvt. Ltd. Project Rapid EIA Report Report No EP/REIA/24 Rev. 0 Title Chapter 3 Description of The Environment Date 17/03/2020

The present study on the floral assessment of the proposed project is based on field survey of the area supported by secondary data from various governmental and non-governmental sources. A change in the composition of biotic communities is reflected by a change in the distribution pattern, density, diversity, frequency, dominance and abundance of natural species of flora and fauna existing in the ecosystem. These changes over a span of time can be assessed and related to the existing environmental factors. The sensitivity of animal and plant species to the changes occurring in their existing ecosystem can therefore, be used for monitoring Environmental Impact Assessment studies of any project.

3.8.2 Scope of the Study

To assess the implications of the proposed project on the surrounding ecology within study area following attributes were considered & executed:

 To document the diversity of the local flora and fauna.  To enlist the major agricultural crops, plantations and cultivated species.  To carry out phyto-sociological studies of existing flora of the region  Delineation of mitigation measures towards impacts (if any) on the biological environment in the study area.

3.8.3 Methodology

To achieve the above objectives a detailed study of the area was undertaken in 10km radius around proposed project site. The different methods adopted were as follows:

 Generation of primary data by undertaking systematic ecological studies in the area by Reconnaissance survey.  Discussion with local people so as to elicit information about local plants, animals and birds.

Extrapolation and prediction techniques were used to limit the number of sites to be assessed. The knowledge of species habitats requirement, soil type, terrain, vegetation etc. was used to predict species occurrence. The biological value of an area can be characterized by its species richness, degree of species endemism, uniqueness of the ecosystem and magnitude of threats facing by existing by flora and fauna of extinction. This Rapid biodiversity assessment were undertaken initially by identifying potentially rich sites from satellite imaginary (Google Earth) and conducting the field survey in the identified potential habitats. GPS was utilized for locating field sample plots as well as gathering positional attributes of sighted flora and fauna species.

For floral survey, the primary data was generated through: - Floral baseline survey was done using Belt Transects of area 100m X 10 m width. List of floral species observed at each transect was documented. The number of sampling points are depending on the Area- Species graph. Species listed are compared with standard books (BSI, ZSI and IUCN) and noted the species required for conservation criteria.

Determining the bird population of local birds by taking 10 random readings at every Location; Observing mammals, amphibians and reptiles, noting their calls, droppings, burrows, pugmarks and other signs.

The primary objective of survey was to describe the floral and faunal communities within the study area. About 16 sampling plots (Belt transects) for the floral inventory were selected randomly in the suitable habitats within the study area.

The methodology adopted for faunal survey include; random survey, opportunistic observations, diurnal bird observation and review of previous studies, literature review was conducted to identify the representative spectrum of threatened species, population and ecological communities.

Since any of the project related activities will not be associated with water bodies in the study area in terms of withdrawal or disposal/discharge hence no impact is envisaged on the water bodies so the studies pertaining to aquatic ecology have been kept out the purview of this study.

3.8.4 Survey Type Used

 Reconnaissance survey (Near Agricultural, Human habitations and Road side)  Belt transact method for trees, shrubs and herbs.  Belt transect method for certain faunal species and road side trees.  Point count method for birds.  Direct and indirect evidences for other faunal species.

3.8.5 Equipment / Instruments Deployed

 Digital Camera (NIKON 42 X zoom)  GPS  Binoculars  Field observation book, Pen etc.

3.8.6 Ecology of the Study Area

Ecology in essence is the study of interaction of living and non-living components, interaction of community and the environment and exchange of material (energy and nutrient) between living and non-living parts. The ecological study has been conducted to establish the prevailing baseline ecological data in terms of terrestrial biodiversity status in the study area & to identify and assess the probable impacts associated with the proposed project on the prevailing ecology & to advocate suitable mitigation measures for the same.

The proposed project shall be carried out in the well-established notified industrial estate of Sachin. The total land area of the site is 2010 m2, out of which 279.9 m2 area will be used for manufacturing area, 805 m2 area will be used for green belt, 121.7 m2 area will be used for

3.8.7 Field Observation

3.8.7.1 Habitats Description of Project Site and its Immediate Surroundings

Project site is located within the Sachin GIDC area, Surat District, Gujarat. Immediate surroundings of the project site are dominated by industrial establishments; mainly chemical manufacturing units, few settlements of Pali village located within 1 km from project site are the nearest habitation. There is no eco-sensitive area likes forest patches, large water bodies of that attract migratory and other residential water fowls within the close proximity of the project site, and hence the direct impact due to the project on these eco-sensitive receptors are not envisaged. The green belt in the GIDC area is limited to very few industrial compounds mainly through the plantation of Asopalav (Polylathia longifolia), Sonmukhi, (Peltophorum pterocarpum), Sharu (Casuarina equisetifolia), Pardesi Baval (Leucaenaleucocephala) and Nilgari (Eucalyptus sp.).

3.8.7.2 Habitat Description of the Area (10 Km)

As already mentioned, the proposed site is located in the demarcated industrial area in Sachin GIDC in Surat district, Gujarat. The major portion in the Northern side of the study area (10 km radius) is occupied by the residential area of Surat City and industrial establishments in Sachin GIDC and Pandesara GIDC. Western portion of the study area was observed with vast patch of mud bank, which are submerged during the spring tide and exposed during the rest of period. Talangpore and umber lake are in the southern part of the project location These areas are getting inundated due to the tidal influx from the Gulf of Khambhath, through Mindhola estuary and other smaller creeks. The land use pattern of the Eastern region of the study area was dominated by Sugar cane fields. Due to the industrialization and urbanization, natural habitats in the area have been confined to very limited patches. Tree cover in the study area is restricted to homestead/farmland or road side plantation. These typical tree cover patterns are termed by Forest Survey of India (FSI) as Trees outside Forests (TOF), in the form of small woodlots and block plantations as trees along linear features, such as roads, canals bunds, etc. and scattered trees on farmlands, homesteads, community lands and urban areas. Dominant tree species planted as farmland plantation was dominated, Mangifera indica (Keri), Borassus flabellifer (Tad), Phoenix sp, Adirachta indica (Limbado), Casuarina

This may be due to GIDC, Surat is totally industrial belt and remaining buffer area is enriched with forested species. The Shannon indices value of buffer zone is 3.046 indicates good potential diversity within the study area. Population size and Dominance of the species is 48% (which means no individual or few tree species are occurred continuously in the study area) and Evenness is around 93.5% (Indicates the species are evenly distributed in core and buffer zones). This might be due to contiguous patches of Weed species and natural species such Azadirachta indica, Prosopis juliflora (near the villages), Pongamia.pinnata, Peltophorum pterocarpum (near road side) and coconut, mango in plantation area. The present study indicates ACE in 3.63 ENPRO Enviro Tech and Engineers Pvt. Ltd. Client Orgo Chem (Guj.) Pvt. Ltd.

frequency classification and as per the Raunkiaer’s law of frequency classification indicates that species diversity is distributed maximum for 60 to 80%. This result indicates that most of the plant species are very common throughout the region.

3.8.10.2 Fauna within the Core and buffer zones

Throughout the study area, there no direct evidence of wild animal species observed. Common mongooses, Squirrels are sighted apart from few reptilian species. From the secondary source (local people near villages) it is also revealed that presence of langurs and common snakes exists here. Common bird species such as Paddy egrets, Green bees eaters, Indian rollers, Parakeets, White headed babblers, Weaver birds, Mynas, Black drangos, Crows, Sparrows are sighted here.

3.8.10.3 Overall vegetation scenario of the study area (from 0 to 10 km radius)

The survey reveals that there are specific patches for certain species and mass plantations such as Eucalyptus, mango etc. There are good number of plantations on the road side such as Ficus, Polyalthia longifolia, Alstonia scholaris, Peltophorum pterocarpum, Delonix regia, Tectona grandis and Acacia auriculiformis. The general field observation in this study area is the presence of certain very common species such as Borassus, Coconut and Phoenix dominant throughout the region. A good number of Butterfly and Dragon fly species are recorded in the wasteland and agricultural habitats. The larval and nectar host plants are very common here. The specific observations were also made for the micro habitats. Borassus flabellifer, Ceiba pentandra, Cocos nucifera, Ficus benghalensis, Ficus religiosa, Ficus racemosa, Mangifera indica, Prosopis juliflora, Tamarindus indica found near the village premises.

3.8.10.4 Endemic, Threatened and Endangered Species

From the present survey it appears that none of the terrestrial species are under endangered and threatened species, and not listed in the Schedule I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 as amended in 1991.

3.9 GEOLOGY& HYDROLOGY STUDIES

3.9.1 Geomorphology

Geographically, the Surat district belongs to the western coastlands of the Deccan peninsula. The area is mainly characterized by the alluvial plains comprising the flood plains of the Tapi and Mindhola rivers. Both the rivers have meandering courses and entrenched fairly with deep cut terraces. The topography is generally plain with regional slope towards the Bay of Bengal in the west, and locally towards Tapi and Mindhola Rivers (MAP 3.7 and 3.8). The project area is almost plain and flat surface with elevation around 15 m above mean sea level (amsl).

Estuarine tracts were developed about 6 km west of the site formed by the merging of the drainage courses Tapi and Mindhola Rivers. Regionally also the alluvial plains towards west merge into a dry barren sandy coastal plain fringed by marshy shore line. All the rivers form 3.64 ENPRO Enviro Tech and Engineers Pvt. Ltd.

3.9.2 Soil

The area is largely covered by alluvial soil. It is generally ranges in thickness up to one meter, with silt clay loam to clay loam composition. The water holding capacity of the soil is moderate to more, depending on the permeability aspect. In the plain areas, the soil is deep (more than 1.0 m bgl), light grayish to yellowish brown in colour. The texture is fine clay loam to sandy loam. The clay content varies from 25 to 60%. Towards the coastal direction (Bay of Bengal) the soil become deep to very deep and attains dark grey to black colour. The texture is clay loam to silty loam (CGWB, 2013).

3.9.3 Rainfall

The area has a tropical savanna climate (as per Köppen: Aw Classification), moderated strongly by the sea to the Gulf of Cambay. The summer begins in early March and lasts till June. April and May are the hottest months, the average maximum temperature being 37 °C (99 °F). Monsoon begins in June, with intense rain in the month of July. The months of October and November see the retreat of the monsoon and a return of high temperatures till late November. Winter starts in December and ends in late February, with average mean temperatures of around 23 °C (73 °F), and negligible rain. In general, humidity is high during the monsoon period and moderate during non-monsoon period. The relative humidity varies from a minimum of 48% in February to a high of 84% in August. The climate variations in the area are given in TABLE 3.26 with graphical presentation in FIGURE 3.15.

3.9.4 Drainage

The area is regionally dissected by perennial and intermittent rivers, streams and streamlets, and forming part of either Tapi or Mindhola River Systems comprising the flood plains deposits. In this type fluvial deposit and alluvial areas, it is difficult to identify watershed demarcation considering the possibility of trans-boundary aquifer system. The drainage pattern in general is sub-dendritic. Both the rivers merge west of the study area before culminating into the Arabian Sea.

The Tapi is the major river which passes through the central parts of the district and flows towards the west. The river is perennial in nature. It originates in Madhya Pradesh near Betul and has about 62225 sq. Km. of catchment area. The average width of the river upstream of Kathor bridge is about 500m

Mindhola River takes its origin is near Doswada, Songadh area. The Mindhola basin has a maximum length of 105 km (65 miles). The total catchment area of the basin is 1,518 km2 (586 sq miles). It takes meandering course in the study area before merging with the Tapi River.

The study area mainly comprises of undifferentiated alluvial and fluvial sediments of recent to Quaternary (Holocene) period. The fluvial (river) alluvium forming the unconsolidated sediments comprise of rock, sand, silt and clay sediments in varying amounts with variable effective porosity and permeability. Far eastern and northeastern parts are covered with basaltic flows of Deccan trap origin.

Structural Features

The intensity and direction of “lineaments” in the area are not prominent, but can be perceived through the distribution of river courses and hard rocks occurring in the eastern part of the district. The major lineaments are in northeast-southwest direction, and at few places even in the northwest-southeast and east-west directions.

The main drainage in the area is south-westerly or westerly flowing rivers like Tapi and Mindhola, both of which merging west of the study area before draining into Gulf of Cambay. The Tapi and Mindhola have established their courses along faulted planes or rift valleys.

3.9.6 Hydrology

Ground Water Conditions

Ground water occurrence, movement and recharge to aquifers are controlled by the degree of weathering, fracture pattern, geomorphological setup and rainfall.

The major aquifers in the study area are mainly formed by alluvium and Tertiary formations. These aquifers can broadly be demarcated into two zones namely newer alluvium and older alluvium. The newer alluvium is present along the river courses and comprises fine to coarse grained sand trap wash with clay intercalations. The sand is unconsolidated but shows some degree of cohesion at places. Water levels in general are comparatively deep in newer alluvium. Older alluvium is present in inter river plains and comprises sand, clay, kankar, gravel and silt. The ground water occurs mostly under unconfined conditions but at places semi-confined conditions are also observed, probably due to presence of clay lenses (CGWB, 2013).

The common ground water abstraction structures are dug wells, dug-cum-bore wells and tube wells. The yields mainly depend on the recharge conditions. The depths of the wells in alluvium generally range from 3.0 to 20.0 and some even 25.0 m. Some of the dug wells have in-well bores down to >30 m. Depths to water levels in the area range from 0.5 to 15 m bgl about 90% wells shows water levels less than 10m bgl. The yields of the dug and dug-cum-bore wells generally range between 100 and 450 m3/day.

In alluvial areas the depth of tube wells range from 36 to >120 m with piezometric levels varying from 2 to 10 m below ground level (bgl). The specific capacity of the wells ranges from 19 to 1658 m3/day/m. The transmissivity values obtained at these tube wells ranges from 104 (Kosad) to 2965m2/day (Vihan, CGWB, 2013).

Ground Water Levels

Behaviour of ground water level is essentially controlled by physiography, lithology and rainfall. There is general decline and rise of water during pre- and post-monsoon season. The rises are due to the general buildup of water levels in response to rains, and declines are due to erratic monsoon, less recharge (due to urbanization), and exploitation of groundwater resources.

The depth to water levels in the area generally varies from 0.5 to >12.0 m bgl. The dug wells usually show phreatic, and the borewells indicate semi-confined conditions. Well inventory of representative dug / borewells were undertaken on 25th May 2019 with in the 10 km radius of the proposed project area. The well inventory details are given in TABLE 3.28. Based on the water level data a depth to water level map of the study area was prepared as shown in FIGURE 3.18.

TABLE 3.28 - DETAILS ABOUT INVENTORY OF WELLS

Note: m: meters; amsl: above mean sea level; agl: above ground level; bgl: below ground level; GL: ground level; Directions: East, West, North, & South are indicated by E, W, N, & S; All the bore wells inventories were fitted electrical pump sets (usually 1.5 to 5 HP for domestic use, and 5-7 HP for agriculture); Some shallow domestic borewells (less than 40 m depth) are fitted with hand pumps; lps: liters per second; Fluctuations: Low usually indicate <1 m per annum, Moderate: 1-3 m/annum and High: >3 m annum.

As observed in the well inventory the depth to ground water levels in the area ranges from 0.7 to >12 m bgl. The general ground water flow gradient is westwards; mostly along the general Mindhola flow direction FIGURE 3.18.

The picture depicts occurrence of moderately deep water level conditions of more than 9.0 m bgl in the northeastern parts of the study area, especially around Bhestan and Saniya Kande villages. This is partly due to its geographical location, and being situated in upland areas and away from estuarine tracts. The shallow water level conditions of < 2.0 m bgl occur in areas near to river/stream courses and marshy areas. The marshy tracts along the stream courses

Surat is mainly known for its textiles and diamond processing industries. The district is emerging as a potential hub for IT/ITeS sector in Gujarat. Hazira and Magdalla Ports in the district provide logistic support to industrial operations in the state. Industrial development in Surat district could be attributed to the presence of a large number of diamond processing, textiles and chemical & petrochemical industries. There are over 40,000 small and medium industries functioning in the district. It is also known as synthetic capital of India. Surat–The synthetic capital of India hosts over 40,000 powers looms and provides over 6 lakh jobs. It contributes almost 20 % to the total manmade fiber exports and almost 35 % of manmade fabric production in India. Maximum number of in small and medium enterprises is related to textile industry in the district, followed by repairing and service industry with more than 10,000 units.

At present, there are 2250 units, including 1750 textile units, 70 textiles dying and printing mills, 40 dyes and chemical units, 50 engineering units and the rest are textile ancillary units. Sachin GIDC has annual turn over exceeding Rs. 8000 crores and it provides direct employments to over 3 lakhs people, which include majority of workers employed in textile, chemical, textile processing and engineering units.

Gujarat has the distinction of being the first state to enact the Special Economic Zone Act - 2004. SEZs is growth engines that can boost manufacturing, augment exports and generate employment. The Government has enacted Special Economic Zones Act - 2004 in order to provide hassle free operation regime and encompassing state of the art infrastructure and support services.

Therefore, prediction of impacts is one of the important components in the environmental impact assessment process. Several techniques and methodologies are being used for predicting the impacts due to development activities on physico-ecological and socio- economic components of the environment.

The environmental impact identification & prediction aims to identify the degree of impacts in terms of being temporary/permanent, direct/indirect, positive/negative or short term/long term on the present environment. Such predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre- project) status of environmental quality to develop the post-project scenario of environmental quality. The objective prediction and evaluation of impact leads to the need for a comprehensive environmental management plan for implementation during the operational phase of proposed activities for minimizing the adverse impacts on environmental quality.

In this chapter, an attempt has been made to identify the probable environmental impacts due to different types of project components involved in the proposed project by establishing cause-effect relationship through impact identification matrix. For, identification and evaluation of impacts associated with the project, related information presented in Chapter - 2 and baseline environmental information presented in Chapter - 3 have been utilized. The various activities of the proposed project and anticipated environmental attributes likely to be affected have been described in subsequent sections of this chapter.

4.2 IDENTIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES

An impact can be defined as any change in physical, chemical and biological, cultural and/or socio-economic environment that can be attributed to activities related to alternatives under study for meeting the project needs. Overall environmental impact is divided into two categories i.e. during Construction Phase and Operation Phase. The environmental impact assessment is accomplished by identification and prediction of impacts and their assessment.

4.2.1 Construction Phase

 Transportation of Construction Materials (Required for Modification of Existing Structure as per Requirement)  Storage and Handling of Construction Material, C&D Waste  Modification in Existing Civil Structure/Minor Civil Construction  Mechanical Erection  Green Belt Development

4.1

4.2.2 Operational Phase

 Transportation of Raw Materials and Finished Products  Handling and Storage of Raw Material and Product  Production and Utility Operations.  Green Belt Development  Solid/Hazardous Waste Generation  Effluent Treatment

The identification of environmental impacts has been made, based on the understanding of cause-condition-effect relationship between an activity and the impact component. The activities identified as sources having potential to cause impact upon above stated environmental parameters due to proposed project during the construction & operation phase are given in TABLE 4.1 and TABLE 4.2 respectively.

4.3 ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES

Potential impacts of proposed project on various environmental attributes given below are predicted;  Air Environment - Air Quality  Water Environment - Quality - Quantity  Land Environment - Soil Characteristics and land use pattern  Noise Environment  Health & Safety  Ecology - Flora & Fauna  Socio Economic Environment - Employment Generation

4.4 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION MATRIX

The proposed project will be carried out in the plot having civil construction available on site. However, modification in the existing structure will be carried out as per requirement which leads to minimum impact during the construction phase. Impact identification matrix has been developed to establish cause-effect relationship between activities of project and environmental attributes stated in Sections 4.2 & 4.3 respectively. These VECs are considered based on natural resources and human world to attribute value for economic, social, environmental, aesthetic and ethical reasons. The same has been presented in TABLE 4.1 & TABLE 4.2.

4.5 APPROACH TO EVALUATION OF IMPACT THROUGH MATRIX MATHOD

For the proposed project, the impact evaluation matrix has been developed to calculate the environmental impact score, which is helpful to define the overall impact of the project and as well as focus on areas for mitigation measures. The processes involved in computing Environmental Impact Score are described below:

4.3

4.5.1 Environmental Severity

Severity/impact score has been assigned to all the activities for each of its environmental attributes as per criteria shown in TABLE 4.3.

TABLE 4.3 – SEVERITYCRITERIA

Score Description of Severity 0 No impact 1 Insignificant impact 2 Short term reversible impact 3 Long term reversible impact 4 Irreversible impact

4.5.2 Activity Score

After assigning score of severity (value), the total activity score has been computed by algebraically adding score of each environmental attribute for each activity for construction as well as for operation phase separately. Based on the severity criteria, matrix has been prepared assigning specific value as shown in TABLE 4.4 and TABLE 4.5 for construction and operation phase respectively. Also impacts and mitigation measures are explained in TABLE 4.6 and TABLE 4.7 for both the phases of project separately.

4.7.2 Incremental Noise Generation Due to Proposed Project

Prediction of anticipated noise levels have been computed using point source model. A basic phenomenon of the model is the geometric attenuation of sound. Noise at a point generates spherical waves which are propagated outward from the source through the air at a speed of 1,100 ft/sec, with the first wave making an ever-increasing sphere with time. As the wave spreads the intensity of noise diminishes as the fixed amount of energy is spread over an increasing surface area of the sphere.

The assumption of the model is based on point source relationship i.e. for every doubling of the distance the noise levels are decreased by 6 dB(A). Point source propagation is defined by the following equation:

Lp2 = Lp1 – 20 log r2/r1

Where, Lp1 and Lp2 are sound pressure levels at points located at distances r1 and r2, respectively, from the source.

Predictions carried out are on as is basis without taking into consideration any attenuation factors. Additional attenuation is expected, due to atmospheric effect or its interaction with objects in the transmission path.

Noise level at the plant boundary, calculated from the above equation, is expected to be less than 65 dB(A) without considering any attenuation factors. Orgo chem (Guj.) Pvt. Ltd. has proposed Boiler (1 T/hr), Thermopack having capacity of 200 U, 1 nos. of D.G. Set having capacity of 125 KVA each, Reactors etc. Considering above details, noise level predicted at sensitive receptors around project shall be as per below Table.

From above results mentioned in TABLE 4.11, it can be predicted that, due to noise generation from proposed project activities, over all noise will remain within permissible limit at sensitive location.

Predicted Noise at Plant Boundary – 54 dB(A)

From above results mentioned in TABLE 4.11 it can be predicted that, due to noise generation from proposed project activities, over all noise will remain within permissible limit at sensitive location.

4.7.3 Transportation of Vehicles

One of the sources likely to be affecting the pollutant concentrations in project area would be vehicular emission due to transportation. It is estimated that 53 Nos. of trucks/tankers will be required for raw material transportation, 9 Nos for transportation of finished products and 17 No of trucks for hazardous waste transportation per month. Thus Total 79 Nos. of trucks will be arriving / leaving the project site in a month which accounts to 3 No. of trucks per day.

4.22

 Total Raw Material Consumption - 1063.08 TPM  Total Production - 170.5 TPM  Total Transportation of Haz. Waste - 334.67 TPM  Capacity of Truck - 20 T  Trucks required for Raw material - 53 nos./ Month  Trucks required for product - 9 nos. / Month  Trucks required for Haz. Waste - 17 nos. / Month  Total nos. of truck per Month - 79 nos. / Month  Total nos. of truck per day - 2.6 Truck/ Day ̴ 3 Truck / Day

4.7.4 INCREMENTAL EMISSION DUE TO PROPOSED TRANSPORTATION OF VEHICLES

Industry has given provision of sufficient storage area for chemicals and hazardous waste at premises. However, due to minimum required transportation of trucks and tankers from plant, there will be negligible incremental emission of different air pollutants in ambient air due to proposed project activities. Basis of emission generation and its mathematical modeling is shown as under:

4.8 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEAUSRES OF HYDROLOGY AND GEOLOGY

The impacts felt during the field surveys, consultation of available literature, and discussion with farmers, public and officials are as follows. The mitigation measures are given thereby.

1. Rainfall: The study area receives an average annual rainfall of about 1211 mm. Study of rainfall records indicate that more than 90 % of total annual rainfall is within four months between June and September (FIGURE 3.8 and 3.9 in Chapter 3). Most of this rainfall flows as surface runoff following the general gradient of the terrain which is from East to West. Suitable peripheral garland drains are suggested around the COP of GIDC area so as to check and control the excess surface runoff water into the COP during monsoon season. Excess rainfall or runoff water collected into the garland drains should be discharged into the nearby streams in the downward reaches.

2. Water Utilization: There are adequate ground water resources in the area, in addition to the presence of potential river water systems. There is no tank or pond or canal irrigation in the 10 km radius area. The Ground Water Estimation Committee (GEC) has categorized the Choryasi Taluka as ‘safe’ with the stage of ground water utilization of 77.72 %, indicating scope for further ground water development, as well to meet the drinking, irrigation and industrial requirements (CGWB, 2013).

3. Water Quality: Ground Water quality in the surveyed area is generally potable with instances of brackish to saline water occurrences. The Arabian Sea coast is about 27 km west of the site. The deeper aquifers in some alluvial tracts of the district were reported to be saline. The excessive withdrawal water from tube wells in the area may result in saline water intrusion which may deteriorate the ground water quality. Hence caution should be undertaken by avoiding heavy pumping from tube wells.

4.9 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEAUSRES OF LAND ENVIRONMENT

As described in earlier section, additional land is not required for the proposed project. Also, proposed project does not require any additional major building & infrastructure. Hence, issues related with land has not been cited to be major except the issues of potential pollution & contamination likely to be arise due to spill/leak of hazardous chemicals & waste which are described below along with necessary mitigation measures.

4.9.1 Anticipated Impacts

The proposed plant in Industrial area consist of Built-up area, minor greenery, BT/CC roads area, Parking area and Open / lawn area etc., which is under possession of project proponent. Hence, there are no Resettlement & Rehabilitation issues involved in the proposed project as it is industrial area.

No land cutting or filling activity is involved during construction / operation of the plant as the site is mostly plain land and hence the land degradation is not envisaged.

4.26

The materials of the project are likely to be transported in truck/tanker or drums through national highway, which may have considerable impacts on environment of the area falling in the route of the transportation. During the incidence of major accident, the hazardous materials being transported can have serious impacts on land where on it spilled or leaked.

Hence, it is suggested that the transportations of such materials shall be done with utmost care as per the statutory requirements through the approved vehicles only. Also it is to ensure that all vehicles are following the HAZMAT guidelines for specific chemicals and possesses all necessary safety gears and safety documents & manual.

4.9.2 Mitigation Measures

Following mitigation measures are suggested.  All possible recyclable/reusable wastes shall be reused/ recycled within the premises itself.  Hazardous waste management to be followed as per statutory guidelines & requirements.  All transportation shall be done in closed truck/tanker approved as per statutory requirement to prevent volatile emissions as well as leak/spill during transportation.  HAZMAT guidelines shall be followed for transport of all hazardous materials. All required safety & emergency equipment & materials including safety & emergency management guidelines shall be provided on the transport vehicles.  Monitoring of soil samples shall be done as per Environmental monitoring plan.

4.10 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEAUSRES OF ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY

The proposed project shall be located in GIDC area & since there is existing structure available on site, it does not involve any sort of habitat loss. Also the proposed project does not envisage any liquid or solid (effluent/hazardous waste) discharge/disposal on the ground or in the water bodies within the study area since it will be operated as zero liquid discharge & hazardous waste to be disposed at TSDF, also any species of conservation concern is not present within the study area & moreover & the project plot being located well within precincts of GIDC area no adverse impacts are anticipated on the biotic environment.

but also enhances the aesthetic value of the landscape and restores the ecosystem to a great extent

Today we are facing challenging problems like habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, species loss, increasing pressure of alien and invasive species, desertification etc. All these factors contribute significantly to the loss of biodiversity at local, regional or national level. Thus, considering these factors, following mitigation measures are recommended:

1. Development of the green belt is the prime requirement with proper selection of the plant species that are having a high Air Pollution Tolerance Index and in addition to that also help in minimizing noise pollution. The green belt not only overcomes the

4.29

problem but also enhances the aesthetic value of the landscape and restores the ecosystem to a great extent.

2. Selection of proper plant species is necessary for developing the greenbelt, as care needs to be taken that the selected floral species are of evergreen type so that no leaf litter occurs during the dry season and chances of fire are prevented. Also, utmost care needs to be taken for monitoring and maintaining the greenbelt.

3. It has been reported that gaseous pollutants are absorbed by the leaves, while the particulate forms are absorbed through the outer surface of the plants having thick canopy. (Prajapati & Tripathi, 2008). Plant species particularly trees and shrubs are important sinks for trapping and absorbing many gases, particulates, aerosols and airborne pollutants (Gajghate and Hassan 1999). To reduce the impact of gaseous pollutants in the surrounding area thick plantation is proposed in the company premises and open areas outside the plant boundary. During construction and operation phase proper green belt should be developed. To minimize air pollution, due to gaseous pollutants, vehicular pollution & dust to attract different faunal groups and maintain the biodiversity.

4. In between agriculture fields and human habitation, a strips of 5 m width of Miyawaki method of afforestation / planting trees should be developed by GIDC, which will create a barrier between buffer zone and Industrial area. This will also reduce noise and pollution levels from different sources considerably. Secondly similar type of plantation is suggested in between GIDC area and Human settlement.

5. Ornamental plant varieties should also be encouraged as these will not only enhance the aesthetic value of the location but shall also attract butterflies and other insects and some birds which in turn add on to the biodiversity of the area

Impact Assessment

Nevertheless, the impacts associated with any kind of proposed activity on the environment cannot be completely nullified however the severity of such impacts can be minimized to a great extent by advocating suitable mitigation measures.

Proposed project shall not decrease any vegetation or displace any fauna. The unit shall continue to take safeguard measures for existing vegetation around project site. Air pollution control devices shall be installed for the process, boiler and DG emissions. Fugitive emissions shall be channeled to wet scrubber. Raw material and Finished products shall be transported in closed trucks. There will be no discharge of wastewater on any existing water body or land. Thus, should be no impact of proposed project on flora and fauna.

4.11 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEAUSRES OF SOCIO ECONOMIC

As described in earlier sections & chapters, the project does not require any additional land & major construction work. Impacts on socio-economic environment due to proposed project

4.30

ENPRO Enviro Tech and Engineers Pvt. Ltd. Client Orgo Chem (Guj.) Pvt. Ltd. Project Rapid EIA Report Report No EP/REIA/24 Rev. 0 Title Chapter 4 Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Date 17/03/2020 Mitigation Measures are envisaged due to direct & indirect employment only which will be beneficial. The details of environmental impacts of the proposed project are described below.

4.11.1 Anticipated Impacts

As mentioned above, impacts on socio-economic environment may occur mainly due to pollution of environment, competing use of water resources, hazardous material handling & storage, hazards associated with proposed project, noise generation, traffic & load on other public amenities.

The site is adjacent to the national highway and considerably away from the locality. Further, the water requirement will be met through the Sachin Notified Area. To control noise level, necessary mitigation like acoustic enclosures, housing of noise generating machineries in closed area/room, proper maintenance & lubrication has been proposed by the proponent. Besides, the transportation will be managed with special transport vehicles having high carrying capacity to reduce the frequency of vehicle on road. Hence, the traffic will not cause any major impact on road networks.

Further, impacts on the socio-economic environment may occur due to hazards associated with the hazardous chemicals and operations of the proposed project. Improper storage and handling facilities of raw-materials, products and fuels may result in spillages, contamination or accidents and ultimately damage to the total environment including human health. To prevent & minimize the chances of such impacts of hazardous chemical & operation, the designs of storage area & tanks have been provided as per the regulatory provisions applicable for particular material. Similar proper arrangement for storage & handling of material have made available within the plant for proposed project.

Further, direct & indirect employment of skilled and unskilled person for operation of the plant has result in slight beneficial impacts on socio-economic environment. Besides, the indirect employment will also have beneficial impacts on socio-economic environment. Mainly, the increased transportation activities have result in considerable indirect employment as well as opportunity of trade & services. Thus, with the adoption of policy of local employment, a marginal long-term positive impact is foreseen on the economic environment. It is also noteworthy that the beneficial long-term impacts have been occur due to the CSR activities conducted by the proponent. Thus after reviewing all above details it is envisaged that the proposed project would not have any considerable adverse impacts on the socio-economic environment.

4.31

4.11.2 Mitigation Measures

Considering the above-mentioned impacts on Socio-Economic environment following mitigation measures are planned & suggested.  All mitigation measures shall be implemented for control of air pollution, water pollution, land pollution and noise pollution.  Employment after proposed project shall be done with priority to the local people and at least 35 % employment shall be done from local areas.  Hazards associated with the proposed project shall be managed/control by implementation of safe work procedures, risk/hazard control /prevention measures and provision of PPEs for all employees etc.  The company shall conduct social activities as part of its CSR Program and activities shall be planned by the proponent to enhance the social condition mainly for education & health improvement in the project area.

6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM AND SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

Based on the baseline data collected on various environmental parameters in the study area and the prediction and assessment of impacts due to the proposed project, a comprehensive Environmental Monitoring Program is required to be developed, to satisfy the various statutory requirements for discharges and emissions and also to identify the trend of various environmental parameters.

Environmental monitoring program covers various areas like –

 Ambient air quality  Water quantity and quality  Effluent quality  Noise  Soil characteristics  Ecology, etc.

Objectives of the Environmental Monitoring Program are given hereunder:

1. To confirm the statutory compliance, 2. To establish a database for future impact assessment studies, 3. Assessment of the changes in environmental conditions, if any, during the operational phase of the project, 4. Monitoring and tracking the effectiveness of the mitigation measures which have been implemented, 5. Identification of any significant adverse transformation in environmental condition and plan any additional mitigation measures.

Moreover, the EIA study for any project is carried out over a short period of time and the data generated and analyzed is usually needs to cross verify to predict all variations induced by natural or human activities over a period of time. Hence, regular monitoring program is essential to take into account the changes in the environmental quality.

In order to support the Environment Impact Assessment and Environment Management Plan, following additional studies have been included in this report.

 Risk Assessment  On-Site / Off-Site Emergency Plan  Occupational Health Programme

7.1 INTRODUCTION TO RISK ASSESSMENT

M/s. Orgochem (Guj) Pvt. Ltd., Sachin will handles chemicals, some of which are hazardous in nature by virtue of their intrinsic chemical properties or their operating temperatures or pressures or a combination of them. Fire, toxic release or combinations of them are the hazards associated with industrial plants using hazardous chemicals. More comprehensive, systematic and sophisticated methods of Safety Engineering, such as, Hazard Analysis and Qualitative/Quantitative Risk Assessment have been developed to improve upon the integrity, reliability and safety of industrial plants, the same has been discussed in detail under their respective headings.

7.1.1 Objectives of Risk Assessment

Risk analysis follows an extensive hazard analysis. It involves the identification and assessment of risks the neighbouring populations are exposed to as a result of hazards present. This requires a thorough knowledge of failure probability, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of population etc. Much of this information is difficult to get or generate. Consequently, the risk analysis is often confined to maximum credible accident studies.

Risk assessment is carried out for the following objectives:

1. To identify hazard and risk resulting from the hazards 2. To study and foresee the effects of such risks on the workers, public, property and environment and to find out necessary control measures to prevent or minimize risk. 3. To comply the legal requirement by various safety and environment laws of the country like…

 The Factories Act, 1948 / The Gujarat Factories Act, 1963  The Environment Protection Act and Rules, 1986  Hazardous waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989  Public Liability Insurance Act & Rules,1991  Chemical Accident, (Emergency, planning, preparedness and response) Rules, 1996. 4. To get the necessary information for Emergency planning and evacuation.

7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT

Identification of hazards in the proposed project activity is of primary significance. Hazard states the characteristics of system/plant/process that presents potential for an accident. All the components of a system/plant/process are need to be thoroughly examined to assess their potential for initiating or propagating an unplanned event/sequence of events, which can be termed as an accident.

IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS AREAS

At M/s. Orgochem (guj) Pvt.Ltd. Sachin, major risks will identify for the following areas:

 Raw Material Storage Area

As a conservative approach, we will analyze the risk qualitatively and quantitatively for the same.

In this study, we have considered the following:

 Storage & Handling of hazardous chemicals like Ammonia and Methanol have been considered for Consequence Analysis. Their storage location has been shown in Figure-7.1. Hazardous (physical & chemical) properties of the chemicals have been summarized in Table 7.1B.  Storage & Handling Solid Chemicals, Acids and Caustic Lye have been considered for Qualitative Risk Assessment.

7.2.1 Qualitative Risk Assessment

Many a times Risk involved in various processes / process equipments cannot be addressed completely by Consequence Analysis. As a conservative approach, these risks have been considered separately under this topic. The approach is to identify hazards associated in operation of equipments as well as in processes, assessing its impacts, ranking the risk posed by it and finally to propose remedial actions/mitigation measures such that the risk is minimized to tolerable level.

The Risk Matrix presented below should be referred in evaluating this assessment.

In Qualitative Risk Assessment, risk has been analyzed using methodology called HIRA- Hazards Identification & Risk Assessment. In HIRA, major manual activities carried out by plant personnel as well as contract labors have been considered.

Qualitative Risk Assessment has been carried out for the following areas:

1. Storage & Handling of Solid Chemicals. 2. Storage & Handling of Acids. 3. Storage & Handling of Caustic Lye.

7.2.2 QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT

Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is a structured approach to identifying and understanding the hazards & risks associated with Storage and Handling of flammable/toxic chemicals. The assessment starts by taking into account an inventory of hazardous chemicals stored, likelihood of leakage/spillage associated with it and selecting the worst case scenario for consequence estimation.

Finally, suggesting the measures to minimize or mitigate risks to meet appropriate acceptability criteria. The planning for emergency evacuation shall be borne in mind whilst interpreting the results.

 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

In a plant handling hazardous chemicals, the main hazard arises due to storage and handling of hazardous chemicals as mentioned above. If these chemicals are released into the atmosphere, it may cause damage due to resulting fires or vapour clouds. Blast Overpressures depend upon the reactivity class of material between two explosive limits.

 DAMAGE CRITERIA

In Consequence Analysis studies, in principle three types of exposure to hazardous effects are distinguished:

1. Heat radiation, from a pool fire, a flash fire or a BLEVE. 2. Explosion 3. Toxic effects, from toxic materials or toxic combustion products.

In the next three paragraphs, the chosen damage criteria are given and explained as per the Guidelines for QRA – Phast (Micro) Software (DNV) & Purple Book for QRA released by Centre for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS).

Heat Radiation

The consequence caused by exposure to heat radiation is a function of:  The radiation energy onto the human body [kW/m2];  The exposure duration [sec];  The protection of the skin tissue (clothed or naked body).

In this report following damage criteria has been considered for the effects due to Fire/Explosion.

7.13 ENPRO Enviro Tech and Engineers Pvt. Ltd. Client Orgo Chem (Guj.) Pvt. Ltd. Project Rapid EIA Report Report No EP/REIA/24 Rev. 0 Title Chapter 7 Additional studies Date 17/03/2020

TABLE 7.7- EFFECTS DUE TO INCIDENT RADIATION INTENSITY

INCIDENT RADIATION – TYPE OF DAMAGE kW/m2 Immediate ignition of wood (without flame 37.5 Contact). 100 % fatal. Minimum Energy required for igniting wood. 25 (Without flame contact). 100 % fatal in 1 min. Significant injury in 10 sec. Minimum heat required to ignite wood 12.5 (With flame contact). 1 % fatal in 1 min. First. degree burn in 10 sec. 4 Pain after 20 sec. Blistering unlikely. 2 No discomfort for long exposure.

Explosion

In case of vapour cloud explosion, two physical effects may occur:

 A flash fire over the whole length of the explosive gas cloud;  A blast wave, with typical peak over pressures circular around ignition source.

As explained above, 100% lethality is assumed for all people who are present within the cloud proper.

The following damage criteria may be distinguished with respect to the peak over pressures resulting from a blast wave:

Intoxication

In this report, IDLH & LC50 Concentrations have been considered for Consequence Analysis.

 ASSUMPTIONS FOR CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

For Consequence Analysis, assumptions regarding Meteorological, Pasquil Stability Classes, Wind velocity, Ambient Temperature, Relative Humidity, Inventory, Ground Roughness, Model used etc. are very important. In this report, the following assumptions have been considered. i. Meteorological Data

 Atmospheric Conditions: No Inversion  Ambient Temperature: 30°C has been considered as MCA approach.  Relative Humidity: As the site is not in rainy zone RH of 50% has been considered. ii. Pasquil Stability Classes

 Pasquil Stability category D/F is considered as conservative approach. iii. Other assumptions:

 Ground Roughness: Ground Roughness has been considered as 0.3 M.  Dispersion model of both Heavy Model and also Gaussian distribution have been used as applicable/appropriate.  Inventory: Release of 100% of the inventory has been considered. For this, failure of the container has been considered from the bottom.  Storage conditions: Storage conditions have been considered as they are practically stored at site.

Following Weather data has been used for the study:

 SOFTWARE USED FOR CALCULATIONS

1. PHAST MICRO

 SCENARIOS CONSIDERED FOR CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

1. In this study, the scenarios for consequence analysis have been selected considering:

 The physical and chemical properties of hazardous materials.  Storage conditions & Modes of Storage (Above ground Tanks).  Hazards ranking by NFPA.  Guidelines by OSHA (29 CFR).  Operating and storage conditions of handling and storage of hazardous chemical.

2. This report considers the worst case scenario which is possible during any set of operation variable and production methodologies. The objective of the study is emergency planning, hence only holistic & conservative assumptions are used for obvious reasons. Hence though the outcomes may look pessimistic, the planning for emergency concept should be borne in mind whilst interpreting the results.

3. Identification of solvents/chemicals to be considered for Consequence Modeling: Out of all the chemicals and solvents being handled and used within the site; most hazardous chemicals have been identified based on their properties like flash point, LEL & UEL Limits and NFPA rating. The results, outcomes, effects and recommendations suggested for these chemicals will be applicable for all the other chemicals which are less hazardous in nature

In this regard, the failure cases which may lead to release of hazardous chemicals are as under, out of which maximum worst case shall be considered:

 Failure of unloading arm of the ISO tanker during unloading of solvents,

4. The scenarios of flammable solvent storage tanks (if it is stored in tanks) have been considered assuming unavailability of bunds. Practically a bund shall be provided as per OISD guidelines.

5. In this study, results of consequence analysis shall be used for;

 Emergency Planning  Deciding Evacuation Routes  Deciding Location of Assembly Points and ECC  Resource Allocation for mitigation

1. Release of Methanol Ambient Flash Fire, Late Pool Fire TOXIC SCENARIOS Press.: Atm.; 2. Release of Ammonia Dispersion Temp.: 30 deg.C

 Considerations Made:

 In Case of Solvents Methanol we have considered the failure case of unloading line (2” i.e. 50 mm pipe dia.) during the unloading of these chemical from the tank for a period of 10 mins. As the solvent tanker is compartmentalized, the maximum release quantity equals the storage quantity of a single compartment.

 In Case of Dispersion for Ammonia, we have considered the following scenarios:  Leak from 50 mm hole size for LC50 (2000 ppm) concentration.  Leak from 50 mm hole size for IDLH (300 ppm) concentration.

Note: Release of above chemicals from process equipments like Reactor or any other equipment is not possible as these chemicals will be in diluted/intermediate form in all process equipments and not in pure form.

 Selection Criteria of Scenarios:

 As per the relevant guidelines for consequence analysis, we have considered the maximum credible scenarios for all the above mentioned chemicals, which is the representative of all kinds of minor/major leakages for the respective chemicals.  Modelling has been carried out for dispersion up to IDLH concentration, in case of toxic chemicals. Evacuation should be carried out in less than 30 min from the areas covered under IDLH in case of relevant leakage scenario. The purpose is to avoid irreversible health effects to persons inside the area of IDLH concentration.  Based on the above considerations and the input parameters considered for worst case scenarios & maximum credible scenarios, the risk contours are plotted on the plant layout map clearly showing which of the facilities would be affected in case of an accident taking place. Based on the same the safety measures/recommendations are proposed and On-Site & Off- Site Emergency Plan shall be prepared as mentioned under the section 7.5. Competency.  The worst-case scenario has taken into account the maximum inventory of storage at site at any point of time.

7.7 Plan to curb release of VOCs in the air:

Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Program

Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) is a program implemented to comply with environmental regulations for reducing the fugitive emissions of targeted chemicals into the environment. In addition to control fugitive emissions, LDAR Program also helps the industries to reduce unwanted losses of chemicals and thereby conserving energy & increasing their profitability.

Need of Leak detection and Repair (LDAR) programs:

Fugitive emissions constitute a source of air pollution and fire. EPA has determined that leaking equipment, such as valves, pumps, and connectors, are the largest source of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and volatile hazardous air pollutants (VHAPs) from chemical manufacturing facilities.

A benefit of LDAR program is reduction of product losses. Facility that apply LDAR also increase safety for workers and operators, decrease exposure of the surrounding community, reduce emission fees and help facilities avoid enforcement action.

The typical flow of the activities of the LDAR program will be as follows:

 Identifying Components  Assign a unique identification (ID) number to each regulated component.  Identify each regulated component on a site plot plan or on a continuously updated equipment log.  Promptly note in the equipment log when new and replacement pieces of equipment are added and equipment is taken out of service.

 Leak Definition  A leak is detected whenever the measured concentration exceeds the threshold standard (i.e., leak definition) for the applicable regulation.  Leak definitions vary by regulation, component type, service (e.g., light liquid, heavy liquid, gas/vapor), and monitoring interval.  Many equipment leak regulations also define a leak based on visual inspections and observations (such as fluids dripping, spraying, misting or clouding from or around components), sound (such as hissing), and smell.

 Monitoring Components  Monitoring intervals vary according to the applicable regulation, but are typically weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly.  For connectors, the monitoring interval can be every 2, 4, or 8 years.  The monitoring interval depends on the component type and periodic leak rate for the component type.

 Repairing Components  Repair leaking components as soon as practicable, but not later than a specified number of calendar days (usually 5 days for a first attempt at repair and 15 days for final attempt at repair) after the leak is detected.  First attempts at repair include, but are not limited to, the following practices where practicable and appropriate:  Tightening bonnet bolts  Replacing bonnet bolts  Tightening packing gland nuts

 Recordkeeping  Maintain records of the equipment ID number, the instrument and operator ID numbers, and the date the leak was detected.  Maintain a list of the dates of each repair attempt and an explanation of the attempted repair method.  Note the dates of successful repairs.  Include the results of monitoring tests to determine if the repair was successful.

Following steps shall be followed for effective implementation of LDAR Program:

1. Process Controls:  To control fugitive emission from process / reaction, all reactor condensers shall be connected to a scrubber to minimize loss of solvents / fugitive emission in to the atmosphere.  Solvent recovery system shall be followed.

respectively of the total area. Total cultivable land is 33%. The open scrub is with 7 %, Other class is Roads within the study area 7%, Around the Fallow edges the Settlement (Built-up area) is located and occupies around 10%, and Industries are around 5% of the total study area. The Plantation is 4%, Railways is 5% respectively in the total study area. The proposed project is in Industrial area and does not have any significant impact on the surrounding villages and habitation. The water bodies cover 6% of the total area.

9. The base line study for evaluation of the flora and fauna bio diversity of the terrestrial environment of the study area was carried out within 10 km radius of the proposed plant.

10. Throughout the study area, there no direct evidence of wild animal species observed. Common mongooses, Squirrels are sighted apart from few reptilian species. From the secondary source (local people near villages) it is also revealed that presence of langurs and common snakes exists here. Common bird species such as Paddy egrets, Green bee eaters, Indian rollers, Parakeets, White headed babblers, Weaver birds, Mynas, Black drangos, Crows, Sparrows are sighted here.

11. Project site is located within the existing plant area in Sachin GIDC area, Surat District, Gujarat. Immediate surroundings of the project site are dominated by industrial establishments; mainly chemical manufacturing units, few settlements of Pali village located within 1 km from project site are the nearest habitation. There is no eco-sensitive area likes forest patches, large water bodies of that attract migratory and other residential water fowls within the close proximity of the project site, and hence the direct impact due to the project on these eco-sensitive receptors are not envisaged. The green belt in the GIDC area is limited to very few industrial compounds mainly through the plantation of Asopalav (Polylathia longifolia), Sonmukhi, (Peltophorum pterocarpum), Sharu (Casuarina equisetifolia), Pardesi Baval (Leucaenaleucocephala) and Nilgari (Eucalyptus sp.). Tree cover in the study area is restricted to homestead/farmland or road side plantation. These typical tree cover patterns is termed by Forest Survey of India (FSI) as Trees outside Forests (TOF), in the form of small woodlots and block plantations as trees along linear features, such as roads, canals bunds, etc. and scattered trees on farmlands, homesteads, community lands and urban areas. Dominant tree species planted as farmland plantation was dominated, Mangifera indica (Keri), Borassus flabellifer (Tad), Phoenix sp, Adirachta indica (Limbado), Casuarina equisetifolia (Sharu), Ailanthus excelsa (Aurdso), Eucalyptus sp (Nilgiri), and Albizia lebbeck (Siris) etc.

12. The Socio-Economic Impact Assessment has been done based on (secondary data collected from Census 2001 and 2011) covering around 24 villages in and around the project site. The project area is comprised of rural areas from Kim covering major industrial zone. The percentage of main worker in the project area is highest in Popda; Mohni; Deladva; Khambhasla villages (100%) and lowest is in village Ponsara (62.3%), while the average percentage of main worker is 93.1% in the villages located in the 10 km radial distance from the project site. The work participation rate is maximum in the village Pali (OG)(63.1%) and the minimum is in village Karankhat (33.7%); while the average work participation rate

is 46% in the villages located in the radial distance of 10 km from the project site. The population largely engaged in service sector (47%); Followed by Agriculture sector (26%); Casual labor work (17%); and Petty Business (10%).

11.4 IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATIONS

1. Impact identification matrix has been developed by establishing cause-effect relationship between activities of project and environmental attributes.

2. Unit has proposed ZLD system for wastewater management. Entire effluent generated from industrial activity shall be send to inhouse MEE plant followed by biological treatment and RO plant. Here, RO permeate water shall be reused within plant premises. RO reject water shall be again sent back to MEE plant.

3. Further, it has been noticed that the impacts due to utility operations would be negligible as the Natural gas and LDO will be used as fuel. Natural gas is eco-friendly fuel which does not emit any toxic pollutant and hence, there would not be any major impacts due to emission. For control of particulate emission from process, company will install adequate APCDs which will minimize the impacts of process/fugitive emissions. Modelling of pollutant emission (PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOX, NH3.) was carried out using AERMOD to assess incremental ground level concentration within 10 km radius study area. Incremental ground concentration was found insignificant in study area.

4. Hazardous waste generated from industry will be stored in hazardous waste storage area and then disposed to TSDF site. Impact on land pollution due to solid waste generation is found insignificant due to proposed scientific disposal of solid and Haz. waste.

5. Unit will develop green belt within plant premises in 805 m2 area (40% of the total plot area).

6. There are no notified ecological sensitive locations, migratory paths, sanctuaries etc. within the study area.

7. Insignificant effect on ecological environmental and geology and hydro-geology aspects is predicted due to adequate control measures for effluent management, emission control and solid waste management.

8. There is no major noise generating machinery in industry. DG Set is provided for power failure condition. All DG Set are provided with acoustic enclosure to mitigate noise generation during operation. ETP blowers are provided with acoustic enclosure to mitigate noise generation during operation. The impacts of increased noise level will be further mitigated by provision of PPEs and shift management. The noise level out of the premises is envisaged to be 67.4 – 73.2 dB(A) in day and 62.8-68.9 dB(A) in night. Thus, looking to the
